ipod shuffle and the questions of life

Ok ... I believe this is what they call a tag??

Here's a little time waster for you.

Please see the set of questions below. Using the shuffle function on your iPod, write the name of the first song that loads as the answer to the first question. Press next for the answer to the second question and so on so forth.

This is my result ... with comments of course:

1) How would you describe yourself?My Love – Jill Scott

Ooh tad on the self indulgent side … not a great start to this exercise
2) What do you like in a guy/girl?Side Effects – Mariah Carey

Yes it’s the side effects that count!! After the initial euphoria … ooh this shuffle palaver might actually be fun!!

3) What is your motto?I stay in love – Mariah Carey

I do my very best … but somehow cynicism beats me to the punch

4) What do your friends think of you?Lion Dance – Setsubun Bean Unit

it’s the asian connection!! .. although I have been mistaken for a very bronzed aussie .. or maltese

5) What do you think about often?Two Steps Twice – Foals

A sun / a sign / a dancestep for two

am I this vacuous?

6) What do your parents think of you?That Hump – Erykah Badu

HAHA I bet they do!!!

7) What do you think of your best friend?Hearts on Fire – Cut Copy

aha … first I have to find one … JOKING!! I have lots of them … and yes they all do set my heart on fire

8) What do you think of the person you like?Candy Shop – Madonna

sweet and addictive … yummy

9) What do you want to be when you grow up?Mama Tian Ma – Sa Dingding

Exotic and unfathomable … with a modicum of maternalism thrown in … hhmm … is my ipod alive???

10) What do you think when you see the person you like?Come See Me – Jill Scott

11) What song will they play at your wedding?No Time Soon – Gnarls Barkley

ok the first dud question .. marriage ain’t the trip for me .. but I guess the sentiment applies on such a momentous occasion
12) What will they play at your funeral?Touch Too Much – Hot Chip

Hhmm I think the iPod is feeling me a little too much ... freaky hey!!!

I am a little on the touchy feely side ... I sometimes have to stop myself from reaching out and touching a client ... not a good look I'm afraid!!

13) What is your hobby/interest?

The Handshake – MGMT

“we’ve got the handshake under our tongue” What does it all mean??

14) What is your biggest fear?March of the Wolfmasters – Janelle Monae

Well I’ve always been afraid of those demon dogs on Tales of the Unexpected

15) What is your biggest secret?Miles Away – Madonna

I would be miles away too with a question like this … similar to “what does my dream mean” or “can you guess what my age is?” or “Do I look like I’ve put on weight?” All questions that deserve the responses they get!!

16) What do you think of your friends?Nobody Lost, Nobody Found – Cut Copy

I try to hang onto friends that I consider real mates … and I always say “I’m not looking for new friends”

17) What is your theme song?River – Joni Letters Herbie Hancock

“I wish I had a river that I could skate away on” Oh iPod you know me too well
18) What do you think of your family?4th Dimensional Transition – MGMT

“you speak the language of the breeze / all your leaves were meant for me / the love that every person wants to be”

shall we break this down … or just let the syntax wash over our emotional response to the word family .. I think there’s something meaningful here
